II DEFORE BREAKFAST. j
Yesterday afternoon arrived in this city
n. guest who made nut a little stir in
the select clrelo whose members were
privileged to meet her. The lady Is Jlis:
Nan Sampson, daughter of Admiral

commencement at Wells college.
Ml?s Sampson Is tall and hi'i.cl.ojn ,
and bears a striking resemblance to her
distinguished father, whom slu U also
said to resemble In her high-spirited
temperament. While there Ik naturally
much anxiety In the admiral's tumily
rcgardlng thu outcome of the navnl war
faro there is little apparent di presiioii,
and this fair daughter Is thu ny ot th
bouse and Is so sunny and cln.rful In
her home life that It Is witn reluetune
her mother consents to even a brief nn.
senco at thli time. Admiral Sampson r
Immediate relatives arc1, of courso In
constant communication w.th him and
know many of the secrets of m.vj oper
ations that the public und tl, n.-uspa-pers

obvious that these matters aro not to ho

A PRACTICE OXHIBITION.
(Jlven by the Prospective Teachers In
the Trnluing School
Tho Seranton Training school gave a,
"practice exhibition" yesterday after
noon at the High S-shool building. The
occasion was mot Interesting. Mnny
vlritor.H were present to get Ideas. It
war an attractive room that welcomed
the visitors. The coiners were hanked
high with forest greens and blossom
ing dogwood, while potted feins and
branches of hemlock sent forth a
pleasant odor of woodland.
Flags, great and small, appeared at
Intervals and there were many pictures
and gully colored maps on the walls.
The exercises consisted chlelly of
class work in which many little people
participated. Primary classes were
taught by Misses fieeso, Klauuiinzer,
Harte, Hose, Grnhnin, Kent, Perry und
Larkin. Two of the Interesting ton
who appeared to know considerable of
the various subjects were little colored
children.
Miss Larkin conducted a pleasing
cillsthenic drill with tho training class
as pupl's anil Miss Ilarte, by means of
a musical exercise, illustrated the prac
tical value o devoting a few minutes
each day to sight reading. The re
sults as shov n by the class work wei
excellent. Miss Anna Koe conducted
an intei estlng geography lesson.
Among those piesent were Protestor
Howell, Training Superintendent Miss
Sykc, Conttollers millions and Jen
nings and a number of clergymen.
NEW COUNTV AGITATION.
It Has Aualn itroken Out at Hazlc
ton. Agitation of the Idea of a new county
belnir formed from old Luzerne with
Hazleton as a county seat, has been
revived by the Ilazleton Plain-Speaker.
The Plain-Speaker in a lengthy article
reviews the situation past and pres
ent. It urges thu selection of a wide
awake, competent man to represent tho
Fourth Legislative district of the
county, so that If either the Demo
crats or Republicans win, Interests
which are Identical will not be lost
sight of and the new county be born,
so to speak. The article concludes
with:
Another favorablo development Is tho
prospective chango In administration.
Hustings lias served his term and will bo
succeeded by auothci man, presumably
Congressman W. A. Stone. Had It not
been lor Governor Hastings' veto tho
new county might be in perfect running
order toduv, but with ills political ob
literation n -v hopes arise in the hearts
of thow whom lie so sadly disappointed
several years ago. A new governor may
mean a new friend and the right kind of
a representative frun the Fourth district
means the early establishment of that
long looked for new count j.

QL'KSTIONKD.
The business transacted tit last
night's regular session of select council
was us vnrlcd ns It was lively, but nt
no stacp wan there u political division
of the house.
An effort to delay action on the con
current resolution directing that the
Harbor Asphalt company proceed with
the repairs of the nsphalt pavements,
was unavailing. With the resolution
was read the city solicitor's opinion,
already published, to the effect that tho
Harber company's contract does not
expire until Nov. 3.
The city clerk rend n statement of
fered by Mr. McAndrew to the effect
that the opinion did not necessarily
prevent a contract with another com
pany: that tho Keystone Paving com
pany had offered to do the work for
2.1 cents per ynrd less than Is provided
by the contract with the Rather com
pany; that the city would save $2.ri00
this year by permitting the Keystone
company to do the work. The state
ment contained Mr. McAndrew's mo
tion that the mntter be referred to
committee.
Mr. Lansing feared there would be
litigation If the city made a new eon
tract. Mr. O'Hoyle echoed the state
ment of Mr. McAndrew nnd alleged
that the city solicitor's verbal opinion
had been counter to the written opin
ion rend In common council and ac
companying that body's resolution.
IT WAS COFNCIL'S FAULT.
Mr. Melvln defended the opinion. It
made no difference, he said. If the city
lost $l'3,000 through the Harber con
tract; It was council's fault In author
izing the contract nnd councils must
stand by It and abide by tho opinion.
Mr. Coyne endorsed this view. Mr.
Sanderson questioned the wisdom of
attacking an attorney's written opinion
which oftentimes differed from a gen
eral legal view verbally expressed.
The pavements were meanwhile grow
ing worse. Councils should stop dilly
dallying and make haste.
The motion to again refer the bids,
resolution and opinion to committee
was lost, and the resolution directing
the street commissioner to have the
work started was adopted.
Further delay In the passage of the
ordinance providing for the paving of
Providence road and North Main ave
nue developed in a failure to concur in
the common council nmendment. The
amendment provides that the contract
shall Include the space between the
rails of the Seranton Railway com
pany and that tho cost shall be as
sessed against the company.
Mr. Sanderson held that while the
company could be obliged by the ordi
nance to pave between Its mils with
material tho same as Is used on the
remainder of the street, it could not
be assessed for the work -lone by con
tract under the city's direction. The
amendment might por-dlly Invalidate
the whole assessment and would cer
tainly make the city liable to the cost
of the track portion If the company
wished to take legal action. He sug
gested that select council re'use to
concur and that the ordinance be re
uinended v a conferoiio committee
as Is permitted by the rules.
A motion to concur was then lost by
the following vote of 12 to S:
Ayes Mcfsi's. Ross. Finn, Kearney,
Thomas, James, Wagner, Robinson,
Coyne.
Nays Messis. Roche. Melvln, Shea,
Sanderson, McCanu, Fellows, Sehroeder,
Lansing, O'Hoyle, Frable, McAndrew,
Chittenden. I
MR. TJNN'.S QUESTION.
Nobody debated in favor of the
nmendment, but before tho vote was
ineorded Mr. Finn, the father of the
ordinance, in n, rather angry tone,
arose and asked Mr. Sanderson If ho
ownel stock In the Seranton Railway
company. The question was answered
In the negative. President Chittenden
then appointed .Messrs. Sanderson,
Roche and Lansing us a confeicnca
committee. The appointments were
from among the majority as Is required
by rule.
Resolutions Introduced j,y Mr. Lans
ing directs the city engineer to prepare
an estimate of cost nnd assessments
for paving Qulncy avenue between
line and Gibson streets with asphalt ns
petitioned by the property owners, and
directs the city clerk to advertise the
petition.
Other resolutions adopted were pre
sented .y Mr. Sanderson directing the
chief of the lire department to ascer
tain tho cost of repairing the Franklin
steamer, nnd by Mr. Roche nsklng the
city solicitor for an. opinion concerning
the city's liability for damages In the
case of lowering or raising n street
grade where the sidewalk is not. dis
turbed, A pointed resolution by Mr. McAn
drew directing the e hlet of the fire de
partment to have the Columbia Chem
ical apparatus re-tiansferred from the
Na Aug company to Its original quar
ters, and directing the chief "hereafter
not to assume any such authority" was
tabled by tho smothering vote of in to
3, Messrs. McAndrew. Finn and O'Hoyle
alone voting negatively. Hefore the
vote was taken it was explained that
the transfer had been made to the Nay
Aug company to protect the business
district while the Phoenix Chemical ap
paratus was being ripalred.
Air. McAndrew tried more success
fully another crack at the lire depart
ment's head by a icsolutlon providing
for a special Joint committee to Inves
tigate a mattor In relation to con
demned hose. Six hundred feet of hose
which laid buist was returned under
contract to tho Wayward comptny to
be replaced, the resolution said. The
company returned It and it had been
lying In the Delaware, Lackawanna
aral Western freight house for n long
tlmo and with the Knowledge of Chief
Hlckoy, who bnd tuken no action, had
failed to notify tho flro department
committee and knew tho city was be
ing charged for storage.
The resolution was adopted nnd
Messrs. McAndrew, Wngner nnd Coyne
were named as tho special committee.

THIS AiORNING'S FIRE.
Was In Rrond's Restaurant nnd
('nued l.itlln Dnmncn.
Fire was discovered early this morn
ing In n large refrigerator In the cel
lar of the Hrjiad restaurant on Penn
avenue. Hut for Its early detection a
serious blaze would have resulted.
A movable gas Jet which had been
left lighted came in contact with some
piles of cigar boxes on nn upper shelf
and these communicated the llames to
the celling. The smoke found Its way
Into the cellar and up the stairs to the
kitchen and led to an Investigation by
the night force, who located Its source.
An alarm of tire was sent In from
Rox 1,'), at the corner of Penn and
Lackawanna avenues. A stream from
the chemical apparatus temporarily
stationed with Nay Aug company
quenched the ilames. A hundred dol
lars will covpr the damage to the re

SUIT ON TRIAL 11KFORH JUDGK
ARCHHALD.
Verdicts for the plaintiffs were re
turned yesterday In the two Inter
pleader suits on trlnl the day before
and given to the Jury nt adjournment.
In the case of George D. Tnylor against
Charles Paleon the mntter In dispute
was farm land In Scott townshlp.whlch
Mr. Taylor paid $S0 for nt sheriff's sale.
The other case was that of Dr. Mc
Dowell against W. I. Joyce for a team
of horses and n set of harness.
Judge McPherson charged the Jury
the first thing In the morning In the
feigned Issue of Mrs. M. J. Cnllendnr
against Assignee John P. Kelley. The
Judge did not pronounce any eulogy
upon ex-Cnshler Stone or upon Mr.
Callendar, husband of the plnlntiff. In
fact ho told the jury that these two
witnesses could be believed In part, or
one could be believed and the other
discredited, or both could be entirely
discredited.
At .1 o'clock In the afternoon Tip
staff Rltter conveyed a message to
Judge McPherson that tho Jury wanted
some further Instructions. Only eleven
men came Into court. One of them, a
positive yeoman from the rural dis
tricts, did not come down with the
others, believing It wus not necessary
ns he didn't wnnt any Information. He
was Invited down, however.
Jt'P.Y HAS NOT AGREED.
The Jury, by Its spokesman, Inti
mated that the testimony of both Cnl
lendar and Stone was discredited, and
wanted to know In that case what to
believe. The Judge told them to take
up tho documentary evidence and the
testimony of the other witnesses. They
retired nnd at adjournment hud not
brought in a verdict.
Judge McPherson listened to argu
ments to set the verdict aside In the
ease of Giles Stanton ngalnst the
Seranton Railway company. Major
Warren nnd Judge Knapp appeared
for the defendant nnd Attorney I. II.
Hums for the plaintiff. Stanton Is a
Chinchilla farmer. He was on his way
to town two winters ago with a load
of hay. It upset on Carbon street,
near the Delaware and Hudson cross
ing, and In trying to get It right side
up again he slipped and broke his hip.
The bob sleigh upset, It was alleged,
on account of a heap of snow that was
shoveled from the street car tracks
and piled up outside the rails. The
city and company were joined as de
fendants In the suit nnd the jury round
n verdict In favor of the city but
against tho company. The argument
to set tho verdict aside was on the
ground of contributory negligence, that
in the very same spot four days before
Stanton was upset with his load of
hay; so that a barber near by who was
watching out and saw him nbnut to
drive across the tracks through the
snow heap, said:
PROPHECY FULFILLED.
"Here comes that fanner again and
he's going to get another upset." The
words were no sooner out of his mouth
than his prophecy was fulfilled. Mr.
Hums cited some similar cases In
which courts of other states upheld an
action for damages.
In the main court room before Judge
Archbald the ejectment suit of the New
York, Ontarlon anc Western Railway
company against H. S. Pierce nnd
others was on trial a part of the day,
and will be resumed this morning. At
torneys J. E. Rurr and Wells repre
sent the plaintiff 'and Attorneys C.
Comegys nnd II. C. Hutler the defend
ants. The company claims that It pur
chased a strip of land from Wllllnm
Cornish In Carbondale, when It was
building Its road, and that the defend
ants who are his heirs have usurped
possession ot part of the purciiase nnd
have built a barn on It. The most of
the evidence offered consisted of maps,
charts, deeds, etc. The plaintiff's case
Is not yet closed.
